Director Guillermo Del Toro is known for his mastery of spectacle in cinema. He made a name for himself with the critical darling, Pan's Labyrinth, but now finds himself at the helm of Legendary Pictures' 200 million dollar blockbuster, Pacific Rim.…

The Lone Ranger isn't technically a sequel to the Pirates of the Caribbean, but really, it was. Replace this film's trains with pirate ships and Armie Hammer with Orlando Bloom, and we'd be talking about Pirates IV. Unfortunately, the quality of…

I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into Man of Steel. Zach Snyder's previous works, 300 and Watchmen, were a decadent aesthetic triumph and a hollow let-down respectively. What would happen when he attempted a visually spectacular, yet gritty…

The Hangover III starring Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, and oh wait, Oscar winner Bradley Cooper is pretty much what you'd expect. Funny, but not uproarious, and though it's decidedly better than the lame second installment, it's still not as…

Community, NBC's critical darling and the unifying force behind one of the most rabid fanbases in the history of social media, had its season four finale Thursday. However, it may prove to be the series finale, as the fate of Dan Harmon's creation…

On Thursday night, NBC aired the season 5 finale of Parks and Recreation. It was an episode absolutely jam packed with shake-ups, surprises, and other not-so-thinly veiled attempts at building intrigue. The fate of the show still hangs in the…

42, starring Harrison Ford and Chadwick Boseman, chronicles Jackie Robinson's introduction to Major League Baseball and his rookie year on the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Not really a biopic, and not really a sports movie, the Brian Helgeland creation…

Lance Armstrong has been a household name for over a decade. His inspiring story, his winning ways, and his dedication to charity made him universally beloved and respected. But as we know now, it was all built on lies. If this sounds to you like…

On Wednesday night ABC debuted their latest sitcom, How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life), starring Sarah Chalke and Brad Garrett. Chalke plays Polly, a newly single mother forced to move back in with her mother and stepfather.…

During Sunday's NCAA Elite Eight matchup between the Louisville Cardinals and the Duke Blue Devils, Louisville's sophomore guard Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome compound fracture of his leg. The sight left Coach Rick Pitino and several players in…

Justified, FX's western crime drama starring Timothy Olyphant, will air its season four finale April 2. The show chronicles Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens as he enforces his Wild West sense of justice in modern day Kentucky. Based on the novels…

No one in the business drops an F-Bomb like Al Pacino. His fluency in fury is first class, and his intimidating tone could make the alphabet sound threatening. He's been Serpico, Scarface, and even gone Shakespearean, but he'll never stop yelling.…

Twenty years and 28 seasons later, MTV's The Real World, is alive and kicking (but mostly drinking and yelling). The most recent installment is set in Portland, America's hipsterest city. The names may have changed but the game is still the same:…

The Jurassic Park Franchise is a pillar of the millennial community. It spawned countless grade school “dinosaur phases” that had kids everywhere saying they wanted to be archaeologists when they grew up. Twenty years later, Steven Spielberg and the…

HBO's Game of Thrones is an achievement in epic television, challenging Hollywood on all fronts. There is nothing about it that wouldn't translate to the big screen, except of course for the sheer length, depth, and breadth of the story that…

HBO's first season of Veep, an R-rated answer to The West Wing, is out on DVD Tuesday, giving potential fans three weeks to catch up on the eight hilarious episodes before the season two premiere April 14. Showrunner Armando Ianucci has created a…

Admission, starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, is a mundane example of Hollywood's unambitious, toe-deep forays into the realm of Independent Romantic Comedy. It attempts to be quirky and charming, though not seriously enough to be memorable or even…

In my 25 years on this earth, I have never felt so old as I did watching 21 and Over. This movie is absolutely juvenile, with a laugh to groan ratio so deep in the negatives that I was thrilled when the credits finally started to roll. I found…

Seth MacFarlane hosted the Oscars Sunday night, and he wasn't half bad. Here are his best one-liners from the night.  1. On Daniel Day-Lewis' method acting: “If you bumped into Don Cheadle on the lot, did you try to free him?” 2. On Argo: “The…

The 2013 Academy Awards will be broadcast live this Sunday, Feb. 24. You can watch the live-stream here, and follow along with my commentary from the red carpet to the closing moments. It's going to be a fun night, especially with the…
